The Israeli army are using aid centres as target practice.

The Israeli government is proposing building a 'refugee' centre in Rafah with an extra special feature - no one is allowed to leave.

From C4 news.

A mass burial has taken place for unidentified Palestinians whose bodies were returned to Gaza and human remains released by Israel via the Red Cross earlier this month

Sorry it was a video and I didn't know how to link. Unidentified bodies and human remains... Palestinian lives really don't matter.

66 bags of skulls and bones from different bodies and very badly decomposed were returned to Palestine as well as 55 bodies. The remains were unable to be identified . According to Palestinian authorities they showed signs of extreme abuse and torture.

The absolute hypocrisy to hold a ceasefire to ransom over one body when this their level of respect for bodies .

Israel finalizes execution plans for Palestinian abductees after Knesset vote.

Continued support of the UK government in its diabolical alliance makes us all complicit. It’s sickening.

‘The amendments to the military laws would grant military court judges across the occupied West Bank, excluding occupied East Jerusalem, to impose a mandatory death sentence by simple majority of a three-judge court, and even in cases where the prosecution has not requested it. Death sentences could not be commuted or pardoned and would have to be carried out within 90 days, in a stark violation of restrictions and safeguards established under international law.’

These West Bank military courts have jurisdiction over Palestinians and foreigners, but not over Israeli settlers living in illegal settlements, who are tried before civilian courts in Israel under civilian laws.’

Any death sentences imposed under these amendments would constitute a violation of the right to life and, when imposed by a military court may also amount to war crimes.

My goodness, that is really grim. Bulldozing bodies into piles of rubble, piling remains into bags, disrespecting the dead is like a full time job for them.

I'm so sad for the people who will never know what happened to their loved ones, it must be so difficult to have no closure, to have no place to return to to honour and grieve their family and friends. We treat our pets remains with more respect and dignity than the Israeli government gives Palestinians. It's just so cruel and unnecessary.

More condemnation from the UN who are seemingly powerless to take action. This is the attempt to sanitise the illegal result of settler terrorism that has killed over a thousand Palestinians, injured thousands more, destroyed their homes, animals, land and livelihoods to make their existence impossible. Alongside the continued bombings of the displaced people in Gaza, the dismantling of the backbone of international humanitarian aid and aside admissions of UK politicians Streeting and Bryant that these are war crimes, how much longer can we pretend that the UK truly abides by rules of international law ? If this is not ethnic cleansing, what is?

Easy to infer that the UN is weak, interesting article from Haaretz countering an aberration because of the countries that are walking away from it when it comes to the Israel Gaza conflict.

He's an absolute shame on Israelis that he represents them.

Just watched warmonger Blairs ridiculous speech at the Board of "Peace" where he referred to Gazans and not Palestinians (and 25 miles of Mediterranean coastline..)

Quite clear where this is all going. With the support of Trump and others the whole area will be subsumed to Israel.(Always endgame)

Yeah, it's strange how it has been framed as Israel are 'fighting for their very existence' and here in the real world Israel is getting bigger and bigger as always Confused

We can all see who desperately needs the right to defend themselves as their very existence is placed under more and more threat everyday.

The situation is bizarre, gas lighting on an enormous scale.

Smotrich knows this and the smirk says it all.

Today Netanyahu also commemorated the 34th Anniversary of the death of Menachem Begin:
https://x.com/netanyahu/status/2025249390802108835?s=20

"Today we marked the 34th anniversary of the passing of Prime Minister Menachem Begin, of blessed memory.

The State of Israel honors his immense contribution to the liberation of the homeland, to preventing a civil war at the dawn of our independence, to his bold operation against the nuclear threat from Iraq, to opening our public life to all the communities of Israel, and to the historic peace agreement with Egypt.

On this day, we bow our heads in memory of Prime Minister Begin, one of the greatest leaders to have arisen for the State of Israel."

Begin led the Irgun, a terrorist outfit responsible for the King David Hotel bombing on July 22, 1946, killing more than 90 innocents (including 28 Brits)

The Israeli government is laughing at everyone, and our politicians have no balls to say anything. At least they said something in 2006 when a motion was tabled in Parliament :

"That this House notes that the sixtieth anniversary of the bombing of the King David Hotel fell on 22nd July 2006; recalls that 96 people died in this atrocity, which remains the highest death toll for British subjects in a terrorist attack; further notes that an event was held in Jerusalem to celebrate this event and that prominent members of the Knesset, including former Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu, attended; condemns terrorism unreservedly; and associates itself with the comments of Her Majesty's Ambassador in Tel Aviv and the Consul-General in Jerusalem, `We do not think that it is right for an act of terrorism, which led to the loss of many lives, to be commemorated'.

Wow @BelleHathor so terrorism is celebrated if the means are for their cause.
Interesting

Tucker Carlsons interview with Mike Huckabee is definitely one to watch. Touches on a lot of the hypocrisy around the issues.

BelleHathor · 21/02/2026 22:08

Absolutely @Martymcfly24 it's the hypocrisy that stands out.

I really feel for so many of the people who were harmed by Begin's numerous actions, when you watch interviews of some of the soldiers (like the late Gerald Green) about the terrorism that they experienced the trauma is palpable.
s

Regarding the Tucker Huckabee interview, it was a masterclass by Carlson. I can't believe Huckabee watched the Ted Cruz interview and thought he could fo better! I almost couldn't finish it because Huckabee lied soooo much, an absolute disaster, he spoke as if he represented Israel and not America, spectacular own goal, no wonder some of Tuckers team were detained at Ben Gurion Airport.

BelleHathor · 22/02/2026 09:09

It looks like it may have finally woken up some other countries in the region, they have been giving useless condemnations on the Israeli governments continual expansion/annexation of Occupied Palestinian land over the last few years.

Huckabee saying "Take it all" as it was "promised" in the Bible has made them realise it also means their countries.

Fools, this was easy to predict. They've issued a condemnation:

"“The Ministries of Foreign Affairs of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the Arab Republic of Egypt, the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, the United Arab Emirates, the Republic of Indonesia, the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, the Republic of Türkiye, the State of Oatar, the State of Kuwait, the Sultanate of Oman, the Kingdom of Bahrain, the Lebanese Republic, the Syrian Arab Republic, and the State of Palestine, together with the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), the League of Arab States (LAS), and the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) express their strong condemnation and profound concern regarding the statements made by the United States Ambassador to Israel, in which he indicated that it would be acceptable for Israel to exercise control over territories belonging to Arab states, including the occupied West Bank. They affirm their countries' categorical rejection of such dangerous and inflammatory remarks, which constitute a flagrant violation of the principles of international law and the Charter of the United Nations, and pose a grave threat to the security and stability of the region. The Ministries stressed that these statements directly contradict the vision put forward by U.S. President Donald J. Trump, as well as the Comprehensive Plan to End the Gaza Conflict, which are based on containing escalation and creating a political horizon for a comprehensive settlement that ensures the Palestinian people have their own independent state. They underscored that the plan is grounded in promoting tolerance and peaceful coexistence, and that remarks seeking to legitimize control over the lands of others undermine these objectives, fuel tensions, and constitute incitement rather than advancing peace. The Ministries reaffirmed that Israel has no sovereignty whatsoever over the Occupied Palestinian Territory or any other occupied Arab lands. They reiterated their firm rejection of any attempts to annex the West Bank or separate it from the Gaza Strip, their strong opposition to the expansion of settlement activities in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, and their categorical rejection of any threat to the sovereignty of Arab states. They further warned that the continuation of Israel's expansionist policies and unlawful measures will only inflame violence and conflict in the region and undermine the prospects for peace and called for an end to these incendiary statements. The Ministries underscored their countries' steadfast commitment to the inalienable right of the Palestinian people to self-determination and to the establishment of their independent state along the lines of 4 June 1967, and the end of the occupation of all Arab lands.”

The world is awash with condemnation, all of it apparently impotent. The alarm went off a long time ago for surrounding countries surely? It isn’t surprising this is unfolding, it’s the blatant brag implicit in this next step that is so ominous. This confidence inspired by impunity could go anywhere.

As a reminder that US reversed sanctions against settler terrorists last year and they have been front lining with increased impunity ever since.

A few reports from Palestine over the past week. There are so many more horrific accounts. The blind eye of the UK government doesn’t make the reality disappear:

Israel wants to execute Palestinians, and the world will allow it.

www.aljazeera.com/amp/opinions/2026/2/21/israel-wants-to-execute-palestinians-and-the-world-will-allow-it

Currently, more than a third of the Palestinians Israel is holding are under “administrative detention” ie. held without charge – and some are women and children. Palestinians are also “tried” in military courts.
Israelis are tried in civilian courts. Settler terrorists are not even prosecuted. But this isn’t apartheid.

That is so frightening @Ellen2shoes . Where is the region going from here. It appears Israeli efforts to completely annex the whole region are working. What is the purpose of the board of Peace and phase 2 of the ceasefire when these incidents are occuring.
Does Israel have any intention of allowing Palestine to live free from their control (it would appear not)

Is this just all paying lip service to the idea of Peace to keep more moderate countries happy or do they (Israel )just not care at all as they know there is no consequences.

ScrollingLeaves · 26/02/2026 00:02

There are no consequences and there won’t be any, except to their reputation but they’ll just call that anti-semitism.

Their treatment of journalists is barbaric and unnecessary.
